The northern part of Italy, especially the Piedmont region, borders on Switzerland and has a long and storied history of fine chocolate making. The Italians bring their passion for quality and for pure, simple flavors to chocolates as they do to all of their food. You can taste this when you try one. We often test out new products in our store in Rome on Via Tritone by providing free samples from various producers. When we first offered Venchi, one of the most prestigious Italian chocolates, everyone who tried one liked them so much that they bought a box! We quickly featured this chocolate, and we are very happy to offer it to you now as one of the finest chocolates you can find in Italy.
